Annotation |
For more than five hundred years, South Padre has drawn all kinds--pirates, explorers, Indians, drifters, shrimpers, builders of sand castles, and countless others seeking an unhurried, uncluttered change of pace. From Padre Nicolás Ballí, who gave the island its name and first ranch in 1804, to the Turtle Lady who adopts and lovingly cares for injured turtles, the author brings to life a classic array of individuals. Adult. Some strong language. Violence.
